What happened to native American? Maybe in time they will be able to shorten “indigenous” to “indgen”, and then all will have come full circle.

Why try to change history? It can’t be changed!

Done all the time. The 'history' we know is not exactly the 'history' the way it actually happened. Hell, we don't even know who killed Kennedy.

I guess Paulie Walnuts was right to push back when it reared its head on the Sopranos.

If the indians had a immigration policy and enforced it, the original 16 tribes would have still existed. Learn from their fatal mistakes or we will be learning the koran in Spanish if Hillary wins! Wish I were kidding!

All it takes for evil people to succeed is for good people to stand by and do nothing.

“There are no humans indigenous to the Americas.”

Which is why we honor Columbus... for all his faults & sins, he was the first to return and spread the knowledge of the Western Hemisphere. Everybody before him either dropped off the edge of the earth (figuratively speaking) or returned keeping it more or less secret (Norse).

"Indigenous" is a lie. They did not spontaneously arise from dust. They immigrated here.

First Immigrants Day is more accurate.

I prefer SiberoAsian-Americans for them.
It has the unusual feature of being geographical & ethnically accurate.
